I feel the same as FoodBoy– I LOVE the Treats Truck so I’m a bit biased when it comes to other sweet selling tucks. Street Sweets is just a tad to pricey for my taste and I actually prefer that kind of homey baking that Kim is selling from the Treats Truck. I’m a whoopie pie snob, (should only be purchased wrapped in saran wrap from a farm stand or near the register of a convenience store in rural Maine) however, that Lemon Cake looks darn tasty (plus $3 for cake? yes!) I might have to swing by there one afternoon….

I am amazed at the success of these trucks. Unlike some truck food products (streetmeat, etc.) these ’sweets’ are generally not perishable. (The Wafels truck is one an exception.) You can buy equally good or better ’sweets’ at a large number of bakeries, markets, etc. at a fraction of the price they charge. Keep them at home. Take a few to work with you. Avoid the ridiculous markup of these trucks. Or you can give in to the apparently irresistible urge to empty your wallet every time you pass one of these trucks or, even worse, seek them out. Sometimes I don’t get the “NYC mentality.”

I would have to disagree. I thought the StreetSweets truck was relatively mediocre and pricey compared to the Treats Truck. I did like the mini-Whoopie Pies, but at $1.50 they aren’t worth it.
